I began to imagine a system where a massive database of case law and statutes could be stored on newly
developed magnetic disk storage, and a program could be developed that would enable the full - text searching of this database using keywords, both factual and legal, and utilizing boolean logic.
The most promising of the
magnetic field theories,
developed by astrophysicist Arieh Königl of the University of Chicago, postulates a magneto - centrifugal wind that flings matter up from the
disk into the jets.
